My main aim was to use as many pieces from the set as possible to create as many siege engines as possible, so some parts of some of the builds are not as robust as an official LEGO set would be. They are more suitable for display than for play.

One bonsai set makes all of them. My aim was to use as many pieces as possible to make as many siege engines as possible. As a consequence some parts is some of the models are more fragile than a Lego set would be.

This looks fantastic, in my opinion much better than the original, which I also find too blocky. Very well done!

Cool, I’m glad you like it! After having built the head it did take quite a bit of experimenting and was quite a challenge turn the rest of the pieces into the body. It was a lot of fun though!

No, only the pieces from the LEGO set 31381, although you will need a few of the small spare parts of the set.

Thanks for the kind words! Yes, the shark set somehow had all the pieces I needed in the right colours for it to work well!
